Ok About 7 or 8 months ago, i asked the question if Milaclegro perlite would be ok for incubation material. No one could give me a positive yes i have tried it and no it wont work.....so someone recommended, hey just try it, if it doesnt work your only out 1 clutch..... well here are the results.
After one month all seem perfect.
I had a few duds after the 4th month. All others look great.
This point i have 36 seems to be fertile eggs. There was no mold or anything. They never grew though.
Now for the question of the day, All eggs started drying up at the last month. I decided to cut a few and come to find out that none of the eggs were developed. Is this because my veiled layed an infertile clutch or because the nitrogen levels were too high from the miraclegro? This was her first clutch sooo.....Now thinking back i should have seperated half the clutch to know for sure. I will repeat this in the future after a little research on nitrogen level in soil. As of now i can't announce miraclegro being safe for incubation, but with that said i doubt it killed my eggs, next time there will be weekly results, more controlled temps, ect.
